Stalin had a plan B if Moscow would have fallen. The Soviet Administration would move Eastward to city of Kujbishev and face the Germans there. With 90% of Soviet Industry moved beyond Moscow, the Soviets had a chance to resist and defeat the outreaching and hungry Germans.

Read recently Molotov asked Ribbentrop, “Why are we in this air raid shelter if Britain is beaten?”

My biggest surprise: the few Russians I met Not one of them told me they hated the German people one even said to me I like them the war is oven all I have is admiration for the Germans yet they suffered appallingly losing over 27 Million dead But sadly the very few Germans I met at least 2 really hated the Russians, after all the distraction they caused all over Europe some people still blame the British n Americans for the bombings of Dresden, Why, what did you expect the British to do after the blitz on their capital? I do feel sorry for the innocent Germans of course But I also feel very sad for the innocent people who did in the blitz n other places too

Well done. One factoid missing is why the Russians suddenly obtained 300k Siberian troops. The answer is found in “the Miracle of Pearl Harbor” by Plain Truth Magazine which states that Russia had kept those troops along their eastern border because of the threat of attack by Japan. Now after Japan attack Pearl Harbor Russia knew they most likely would never attack them - initiate a two front war. Therefore they brought all those winter troops to defend Moscow! BAM! A miracle just happened.

@carlustin4034

The battle at Moscow started 30th of September 1941. On the 10th of October, there were Siberian divisions in Moscow. They participated in a parade for the October revolution and went straight to the front.It takes 2 weeks to deploy them therefrom the Far East and one week to prepare for the Parade..Pearl Harbor was attacked on 7th of December 3 months later after any decision to move the divisions from Siberia.It was not after but before Pearl harbor. The reason was the Battles of Khalkhin Gol from 1939 when Japanize lost and was clear for Japanese command they cannot fight the Red Army and decided to expand only in the Pacific ocean.It is another way arround Japanise had already lost from USSR in 1939. There was The Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Pact signed on April 13, 1941, two years after the conclusion of the Soviet-Japanese Border War.Later in 1941, Japan, as a signatory of the Tripartite Pact, considered denouncing the Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Pact, especially after Germany invaded the Soviet Union (Operation Barbarossa), but made the crucial decision to keep it and to expand southwards invading the European colonies in Southeast Asia instead.
